Cloud Storage Security

The need to reduce costs and enable IT respon¬siveness to business change is driving more and more applications, including critical ones, to various types of cloud platforms. While cloud providers can implement many of the same security measures required of an internal IT group, many companies are still wary. This is especially true for less expensive, multitenant public cloud environments that are inherently less secure than in-house IT environments, assuming that the onsite, internal IT environments follow proper security procedures and have the right technology and standards in place.
This means building security and trust architec¬tures that ensure each company’s applications and data are isolated and secure from those of other customers in a multitenant environment. By adhering to emerging security standards and leveraging encryption service providers can provide security services that meet security expectations.
Whether adopted in public, private or hybrid form, the cloud imposes unique and stringent security demands. But with appropriate levels of security, trust and governance, service providers can provide a secure environment for data and appli¬cations.
The information researched was informative and helped reinforce some preexisting ideas I had about Cloud storage security. Information was presented clearly and to the point. I do wish the articles talked more about ownership of information stored on cloud storage. User agreements are not often read and people need to know what they are agreeing to when they accept the terms of a cloud provider.
